Born on the 25th of April 2004, the Spanish defender Álex Valle stands as an impressive figure, donning the number 11 jersey on the field for Celtic. Primarily operating as a left back, Valle measures up to 5ft 10in (1.8m) and weighs in at a sturdy 12st 8lb (80kg).
As of today, according to Transfermarkt, his martlet value weighs in the region of £2.5m. His current contract with Celtic gives him seven months remaining, with a declared end date of 30 June 2025.
Valle started his club journey in Spain, joining Barcelona as a trainee in July 2018. In January 2023, his career hit a brief pause as he transferred from Barcelona to FC Andorra on loan. His debut season with FC Andorra for 2022 - 2023 saw Valle in seven first team league matches. On completion of his loan, Valle found himself back on home turf with Barcelona in June 2023.
The wind of change once more ushered Valle on another loan, this time to Levante UD, also based in Spain in August 2023. His performance during the 2023 - 2024 season at Levante UD displayed an impressionable record with 29 first team appearances in league matches. June 2024 saw the end of this loan, sailing him back to Barcelona.
However, this was merely the prelude for his journey to the Scottish Premiership team, Celtic. Valle arrived at Celtic in August 2024 on loan from Barcelona. So far, in this 2024 - 2025 season with Celtic, Valle has played six times in league matches, equally contributing in the League Cup with two starts, and also made his mark in the Champions League with one start and three substitute appearances.
This ongoing journey with Celtic is shaping Valle as a significant player under the Scottish club’s banner, and fans are assuredly eager to see more of his performance in the coming months.
